Fear of local eating habits is a kind of food culture passed down by Shanxi people. Due to the influence of local eating habits, most Shanxi people will be jealous. There are many alkaline components in soil and water in Shanxi. Drinking alkaline water often can also cause discomfort, and vinegar can neutralize alkaline components, which is beneficial to people's health. Under the influence of long-term jealous eating habits, there are also famous local dishes with vinegar as the mainstay, such as sweet and sour fish and sweet and sour meatballs, which make people salivate. In addition, Shanxi people like pasta, such as minced meat noodles and Dandan Noodles, and add a certain amount of vinegar. Eating too much pasta will cause gastrointestinal discomfort, so adding some vinegar is good for digestion.
Influenced by historical development, the main grain crops in Shanxi are sorghum and barley, which are the raw materials needed by fermented vinegar. Shanxi's vinegar industry has a long history. As early as the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Shanxi people knew how to use fermented vinegar, a native product, to build large and small vinegar workshops, which brought people economic income and laid a solid foundation for the development of Shanxi vinegar industry. Now Shanxi mature vinegar is still the most popular vinegar in China. Many local enterprises that produce vinegar still retain traditional techniques, and the development of vinegar industry makes local people more inseparable from vinegar in their diet. ?
Shanxi people know how to be jealous and keep healthy. Jealousy can strengthen the body's resistance and help people prevent colds. Burning vinegar at home in winter can also kill many bacteria and viruses. Because vinegar has such a good effect, it is naturally loved by Shanxi people, but you should also pay attention to the amount of taboos. Eating too much will also hurt your stomach.
